How did you get started in the bridal makeup industry?
I have been doing bridal makeup since 1997. I worked at several Eastside salons before opening my own Studio in August of 2010. 

What made you want to be a makeup artist?
I was always fascinated by makeup even as a little girl. Makeup is magical you can take something ordinary and transform it into extraordinary!

What is the favorite part of your job?
I love that everyday is different. Each client has different needs. I might be working with a bride or getting a client ready for a special event, or doing a photoshoot on location.  My job is an adventure!

What is the most important piece of advice you can give a bride looking for the perfect bridal makeup?
Be realistic with your expectations, consider the time of day and where you will be photographed indoor / outdoors lighting affects everything!  Book your makeup 6 months in advance this gives you time to schedule your trial session, and any additional beauty sessions you may need to achieve the look you want hair cut / color, spray tan , etc.... 

What sets you apart from other artists?
I have done over 1000 weddings, I do a thorough consultation to get a visual of the look my bride would like created.   I am calm and confident this reassures the bride that she is in good hands.  I am comfortable doing makeup on all ages and skin tones.

Do you have a signature look you like to do for brides?
My signature look is "classic elegance ". This look creates beautiful timeless photos that will always be in style. 

Favorite memory of a wedding or bride?
I had the opportunity last year to do the makeup for one of my long time clients.  Jane started coming to me for brow waxes back in high school. She went off to collage and met the love of her life while studying Photography. They married last September, it was so wonderful to be part of her special day.
